| Grand Prix versus Stillpoints There are many who have been consistent for the last twenty years in the applications of resonance collection and transfer to ground. The collection of resonance is supported by material selection { not plastic not carbon fiber not delrin not acry... | |
| Grand Prix versus Stillpoints Isolation only exists in the absence of matter. If you design a product based on the false premise that isolation is possible in the dimensions in which we exist then you wasted your time and energy. The much more effective resolution is to design... | |
| Grand Prix versus Stillpoints There has been a racking and platform system whose design from the outset was to deal with self generated resonance within components as well as airborne disturbance within the listening environment. Isolation is only possible in the absence of ma... | |
| Room Treatments Tim Can't tell you more just now. When I can..I will post it here.Tom | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil My ears have told me this before that I can hear the time shift blurrr of multi caps. Tom | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Duelund Gents,Will the natural Q factor of a inductor be reduced with doping such as the material you apply to your product? Is the mechanical Q the resonant energy curve of the device and would doping serve to flatten and broaden this curve? Aski... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Hello Gents from DuelundSo the use of non ferrous materials for a chassis is most acceptable. I suppose its up to the listener now to decide which material within this group is most musical to their ears. Would you now answer how the choice of dop... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil OkayWith the help of a friend who has a large quantity of test equipment I will request his brain to test the variance of inductance in the presence of these different materials. My thoughts of a chassis was the material that the crossover compone... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil JohnLook for materials of music in wood or metal. MDF is dust and glue so I wouldn't go there. How can that have a pleasant sound. Any chassis that you choose I would terminate with a hard material such as brass or bronze to the floor so vibration... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil All this DCR stuff I feel is very critical especially in highly damped speaker enclosures with a Q of between .5 an .7...It has been my experience that when you lower the DCR by changing inductor wire guage you also lower the Q of the speaker syst... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil May Duelund comment here on the possible benefit of doping a speaker inductor and the reduction/lowering of its Q ? Tom | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Roger,As you know there is a big benefit in hard coupling any power transformer to the chassis with brass instead of the ferrous steel and rubber materials usually the defaults in audio. With the inductors coated in Cascade I plan on the outboard ... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil RogerHave you doped any inductors with Cascade Audio V-Bloc? I know you have used this paint or compound for other uses. I did paint 2 North Creek inductors with this rock hard drying paint and it did reduce the Q by about 30%. I did not however m... | |
| Room Treatments KevinUsing about a 30 degree downward angle at the ceiling on these soffits many which are enclosures for heating and air feeds. Can actually be made into an acoustic benefit instead of a liability. 30 degrees works well on all wall ceiling inters... | |
| Room Treatments Room tuners for hire and others who model a room should do away with as many ninty degree intersections as they can. I have seen many store bought rooms displayed on these pages and on 6 Moons that are overtreated and overcorrected when in fact th... |
